LOS ANGELES - After coming close against Tennessee and Maryland, UCLA broke through against Stanford.

Darxia Morris scored 20 points, Lindsay Pluimer added 12 and the Bruins upset the second-ranked Cardinal 69-56 Friday night for the first victory over a top-two team in school history.

"We're fed up with playing with the best and not being able to finish the job," Pluimer said. "We learned from those games. You could tell by how we used the clock and were patient. All those came from the Maryland and Tennessee games."

The Bruins (7-7, 2-1 Pac-10) led virtually the entire game against a Cardinal team that had been blowing out opponents by an average of 20.2 points.

UCLA's only other win against a team ranked higher than fourth was 63-60 over No. 3 Texas on Nov. 28, 2004.

The Bruins jumped and shouted at midcourt in front of 1,325 fans after the final buzzer.

Candice Wiggins had 29 points and 10 rebounds and Jayne Appel added 17 points for Stanford (12-2, 2-1), which had its nine-game winning streak snapped.

Kayla Pedersen added 13 rebounds, but was held to two points - 11 below her average.

No. 10 California 57, Southern California 52: Devanei Hampton had season highs of 21 points and 13 rebounds to help the Golden Bears overcome a poor shooting night to get by the Trojans.

California (12-2, 3-0 Pac-10) shot 50 percent from the free-throw line, as well as 40 from the floor and 28 on three-pointers - their lowest percentages in a win this season.

Washington 61, Washington St. 46: The Huskies notched their 25th consecutive victory over the Cougars as 6-foot-5 freshman center Jess McCormack, from New Zealand, scored 16 points and grabbed nine rebounds.

The contest was the first time Washington faced former coach June Daugherty, now coaching Washington State after being fired by the Huskies last March after 11 seasons.

No. 9 Baylor 84, Texas State 57: Rachel Allison had 23 points and 13 rebounds to lead the host Bears to a victory over Texas State. Angela Tisdale added 19 points, Jessica Morrow 12 and Jhasmin Player 11 for Baylor (12-1).

Victoria Davis and Tamarra Evans-Sluga each scored 13 for Texas State (6-7) and Joyce Ekworomadu had 10 points.

No. 16 Texas 91, Texas Pan-American 43: Ashley Lindsey scored 11 of her 13 points in the first half to help the Longhorns run away for the victory over the Broncos. Texas (12-2) extended its winning streak to 10 games for the first time since taking 17 straight in 2003-04.

No. 23 Colorado 65, Pepperdine 53: Jackie McFarland had 19 points and eight rebounds to help the Buffaloes win their 10th straight game.
